Depp’s daughter‘ill in hospital’

HOLLYWOOD film star Johnny Depp’s daughter is seriously ill in a British hospital, it was reported yesterday.

The Mirror said Depp’s seven-year-old daughter, Lily-Rose, was rushed to hospital nine days ago as Depp, 43, took part in filming in Britain.

It said the Pirates of the Caribbean star, who has enthused about the joys of fatherhood, and his partner, Vanessa Paradis, were keeping a round-the-clock vigil on the youngster.

The Mirror said it knew what Lily-Rose’s medical condition was and where she was being treated, but was not revealing those details to protect the family’s privacy.

The actor is shooting his new movie Sweeney Todd at Pinewood Studios.

He plays Benjamin Barker, also known as the murderous barber Sweeney Todd. The film is being directed by Tim Burton and also stars Helena Bonham Carter and Alan Rickman.

Depp and French singer Paradis, 34, have been together for nine years.

Depp also has a four-year-old son, John Jack.
